Quoted from jsa:I've looked pretty hard for them. So far I'm not seeing anything published. I get the concept of wanting to sell/control replacements, though I feel it may be to prohibit "after-market" alternatives or additions.
Their communication protocol is mostly known now, someone could reasonably sit down at this point and make an after market node board of their own design.
I don't know if there is any payoff to that though.
Quoted from jsa:Is it though? I haven't seen anything out there that gets into detail about the protocol. Even some debate if it was CAN bus vs. RS-485.
It is.
Quoted from jsa:Ok, fair enough, but none of the detail is published there (especially the transceiver type). Unless I'm missing it?
Yeah, not everything is published in an easy to consume format for a random John Doe to try and make his own, but the details are known to people.
